Yup. I remember all that from the dark dusty days of engineering physics.
However, the body undergoing centripetal acceleration is not undergoing an
even acceleration.... You have to get into partials to really describe the
scale of motion I'm talking about. You know... frame of reference is now
"inside" the car, not viewing it from the outside of the system?
Surely those moments would be non-linear, eh? Partials would describe the
very very small accelerations. This is probably an eulerian vs lagrangian
argument...
